I used to work for PSFB and having a hard time figuring out how an SP routing from a SP station can be restricted to the Siskiyou route. A car from Roseburg or wherever on the Siskiyou to a SP station is SP direct. There is no tariff routing for Direct routes. How the SP handled the car, via Eugene or Siskiyou is SP discretion
